[MITgcm-support] Stevens boundary conditions with sea ice

[Naughten, Kaitlin A.]

Hello,

I am interested in the Stevens boundary conditions, and see from the user guide (http://mitgcm.org/public/r2_manual/latest/online_documents/node236.html#SECTION00731550000000000000) that "passive tracers, sea ice and non-linear free surface are not supported properly". (I'm not sure if this is up-to-date, but I checked in the Stevens OBC code and don't see anything about sea ice).

Does this mean that applications with sea ice should not use Stevens boundary conditions at all? Or is it safe to use Stevens boundary conditions, but users should be aware that it does not apply to the sea ice fields?

Many thanks,
Kaitlin Naughten
